Description
Summary:This study presentes a combination method of several optimization techniques and Taguchi method to solve the multi-objective optimization problem for surface grinding process of SKD11 steel. The optimization techniques that were used in this study were Multi-Objective Optimization on basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) and Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS). In surface grinding process, two parameters that were chosen as the evaluation criterias were surface roughness (Ra) and material removal rate (MRR). The orthogonal Taguchi L16 matrix was chosen to design the experimental matrix with two input parameters namely workpiece velocity and depth of cut. The two optimization techniques that mentioned above were applied to solve the multi-objective optimization problem in the grinding process. Using two above techniques, the optimized results of the cutting parameters were the same. The optimal values of workpiece velocity and cutting depth were 20 m/min and 0.02 mm, respectively. Corresponding to these optimal values of the workpiece velocity and cutting depth, the surface roughness and material removal rate were 1.16 µm and 86.67 mm3/s. These proposed techniques and method can be used to improve the quality and effectiveness of grinding processes by reducing the surface roughness and increasing the material removal rate.
